Hi,
I tried as you suggested, but floppy is not getting attached it seems.
below is the code
*Steps followed:*
I. Create windows VM
II. installed host agent
III. *To seal a Windows virtual machine with sysprep*
1. In the Windows virtual machine to be used as a template, open a
command line terminal and type *regedit*.
2. The *Registry Editor* window displays. On the left pane, expand
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE* → *SYSTEM* → *SETUP*.
3. On the main window, right click to add a new string value using
*New*→ *String
Value*. Right click on the string value file and select *Modify*. When
the *Edit String* dialog box displays, fill in the provided text boxes:
- Value name: UnattendFile
- Value data: a:\sysprep.xml
4. Launch sysprep from C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe
- Under *System Cleanup Action*, select *Enter System
Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)*.
- Tick the *Generalize* checkbox if you need to change the computer's
system identification number (SID).
- Under *Shutdown Options*, select *Shutdown*.
Click *OK*. The virtual machine will now go through the sealing process and
shut down automatically.

just launch a windows VM, look at the generated sysprep file we pass to
the VM via the floppy disk.
then pass it as a payload as-is.
then try to change what you want.
